In episode 2, we discuss the Capability Approach and health justice with Sridhar Venkatapuram.

Sridhar discusses the philosophical implications of differing ways of seeing rights to health justice, and how the Capability Approach can help connect rights & policy. 

Sridhar has worked on health ethics for 30 years. He has won numerous awards, grants, and fellowships including Wellcome Trust Research and Senior Research Fellowships. He has been elected to prestigious professional organizations, commissions, and panels including the RSA, Faculty of Public Health, Human Development and Capability Association, and Lancet-Univ. of Oslo Panel on Global Governance for Health. Sridhar is a fellow of the HDCA.
